I got the vibe that she was talking about the authoritarian nature of the Obama administration, too. The stupid thing about the ape though I tried to bring up that aspect and got shut down by my own family. People are way too obsessed with race.
Very much agree. People are so triggered when you say anything about culture or heritage. It's a stupid pride thing. People are way too prideful in something they didn't even have a choice in doing. You can be proud of something you accomplished. Proud of your heritage was something you had no say in.
I would disagree with that last part. Heritage is huge in politics as it is here on voat and I know why. You cant accomplish everything in one lifetime. What you chose to do about that fact is up to you. Some people start cults, some start families and some chose activism to proliferate their ideas. I meant to say that word ape doesn't have anything to do with her heritage. It all gets conflated into nonsense arguments as soon as anything with a primate gets mentioned. It's something like mass hysteria imo.
